Woot!

My favorite new "Why Didn't I Think of That?" site is Woot! (www.woot.com). It is a shopping site that only features 1 item a day. They have a limited number of that 1 item, and when they are sold out, nothing happens for the rest of the day. Generally, it's something that is very deeply discounted. The next new item appears at midnight (central time) for the next day. How cool is that? The items vary widely, from robots to blenders (and that was just this week). Check it out. If you really get caught up, you'll end up staying up until midnight to see what the next item is going to be. The really good ones sell out fast (I'm not quite at that level yet -- I wait until the next morning...and end up missing out a bunch of times).
